V.1 Now king 4428 David 1732 was old 2204-1 [and] stricken 935-1 in years; 3117 and they covered 3680-17 him with clothes, 899 but he gat no heat. 3179-4

1:2 Wherefore his servants 5650 said 559-4 unto him, Let there be sought 1245-17 for my lord 113 the king 4428 a young 5291 virgin: 1330 and let her stand 5975-1 before 6440 the king, 4428 and let her cherish 5532-6 him, and let her lie 7901-1 in thy bosom, 2436 that my lord 113 the king 4428 may get heat. 2552-1

1:3 So they sought 1245-17 for a fair 3303 damsel 5291 throughout all the coasts 1366 of Israel, 3478 and found 4672-4 Abishag 49 a Shunammite, 7767 and brought 935-55 her to the king. 4428

1:4 And the damsel 5291 [was] very 3966 fair, 3303 and cherished 5532-6 the king, 4428 and ministered 8334-17 to him: but the king 4428 knew 3045-1 her not.

1:5 Then Adonijah 138 the son 1121 of Haggith 2294 exalted 4984-102|5375-102 himself, saying, 559-2 I will be king: 4427-4 and he prepared 6213-4 him chariots 7393 and horsemen, 6571 and fifty 2572 men 376 to run 7323-5 before 6440 him.

1:6 And his father 1 had not displeased 6087-1 him at any time 3117 in saying, 559-2 Why hast thou done 6213-1 so? and he also [was a] very 3966 goodly 2896 8389 [man]; and [his mother] bare 3205-1 him after 310 Absalom. 53

1:7 And he conferred 1697 with Joab 3097 the son 1121 of Zeruiah, 6870 and with Abiathar 54 the priest: 3548 and they following 310 Adonijah 138 helped 5826-4 [him].

1:8 But Zadok 6659 the priest, 3548 and Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada, 3077 and Nathan 5416 the prophet, 5030 and Shimei, 8096 and Rei, 7472 and the mighty men 1368 which [belonged] to David, 1732 were not with Adonijah. 138

1:9 And Adonijah 138 slew 2076-4 sheep 6629 and oxen 1241 and fat cattle 4806 by the stone 68 of Zoheleth, 2120 which [is] by 681 Enrogel, 5883 and called 7121-4 all his brethren 251 the king's 4428 sons, 1121 and all the men 582 of Judah 3063 the king's 4428 servants: 5650

1:10 But Nathan 5416 the prophet, 5030 and Benaiah, 1141 and the mighty men, 1368 and Solomon 8010 his brother, 251 he called 7121-1 not.

1:11 Wherefore Nathan 5416 spake 559-4 unto Bathsheba 1339 the mother 517 of Solomon, 8010 saying, 559-2 Hast thou not heard 8085-1 that Adonijah 138 the son 1121 of Haggith 2294 doth reign, 4427-1 and David 1732 our lord 113 knoweth 3045-1 [it] not?

1:12 Now therefore come, 3212-3 let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, 3289-4 6098 that thou mayest save 4422-16 thine own life, 5315 and the life 5315 of thy son 1121 Solomon. 8010

1:13 Go 3212-3 and get thee in 935-3 unto king 4428 David, 1732 and say 559-1 unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, 113 O king, 4428 swear 7650-8 unto thine handmaid, 519 saying, 559- 2 Assuredly 3588 Solomon 8010 thy son 1121 shall reign 4427-4 after 310 me, and he shall sit 3427-4 upon my throne? 3678 why then doth Adonijah 138 reign? 4427-1

1:14 Behold, while thou yet talkest 1696-18 there with the king, 4428 I also will come in 935-4 after 310 thee, and confirm 4390-14 thy words. 1697

1:15 And Bathsheba 1339 went in 935-4 unto the king 4428 into the chamber: 2315 and the king 4428 was very 3966 old; 2204-1 and Abishag 49 the Shunammite 7767 ministered 8334-18 unto the king. 4428

1:16 And Bathsheba 1339 bowed, 6915-4 and did obeisance 7812- 101 unto the king. 4428 And the king 4428 said, 559-4 What wouldest thou?

1:17 And she said 559-4 unto him, My lord, 113 thou swarest 7650-8 by the LORD 3068 thy God 430 unto thine handmaid, 519 [saying], Assuredly Solomon 8010 thy son 1121 shall reign 4427-4 after 310 me, and he shall sit 3427-4 upon my throne. 3678

1:18 And now, behold, Adonijah 138 reigneth; 4427-1 and now, my lord 113 the king, 4428 thou knowest 3045-1 [it] not:

1:19 And he hath slain 2076-4 oxen 7794 and fat cattle 4806 and sheep 6629 in abundance, 7230 and hath called 7121-4 all the sons 1121 of the king, 4428 and Abiathar 54 the priest, 3548 and Joab 3097 the captain 8269 of the host: 6635 but Solomon 8010 thy servant 5650 hath he not called. 7121-1

1:20 And thou, my lord, 113 O king, 4428 the eyes 5869 of all Israel 3478 [are] upon thee, that thou shouldest tell 5046-53 them who shall sit 3427-4 on the throne 3678 of my lord 113 the king 4428 after 310 him.

1:21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord 113 the king 4428 shall sleep 7901-2 with his fathers, 1 that I and my son 1121 Solomon 8010 shall be counted offenders. 2400

1:22 And, lo, while she yet talked 1696-18 with the king, 4428 Nathan 5416 the prophet 5030 also came in. 935-1

1:23 And they told 5046-55 the king, 4428 saying, 559-2 Behold Nathan 5416 the prophet. 5030 And when he was come in 935-4 before 6440 the king, 4428 he bowed 7812-101 himself before the king 4428 with his face 639 to the ground. 776

1:24 And Nathan 5416 said, 559-4 My lord, 113 O king, 4428 hast thou said, 559-1 Adonijah 138 shall reign 4427-4 after 310 me, and he shall sit 3427-4 upon my throne? 3678

1:25 For he is gone down 3381-1 this day, 3117 and hath slain 2076-4 oxen 7794 and fat cattle 4806 and sheep 6629 in abundance, 7230 and hath called 7121-4 all the king's 4428 sons, 1121 and the captains 8269 of the host, 6635 and Abiathar 54 the priest; 3548 and, behold, they eat 398-6 and drink 8354-6 before 6440 him, and say, 559-4 God save 2421-4 king 4428 Adonijah. 138

1:26 But me, [even] me thy servant, 5650 and Zadok 6659 the priest, 3548 and Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada, 3077 and thy servant 5650 Solomon, 8010 hath he not called. 7121-1

1:27 Is this thing 1697 done 1961-8 by my lord 113 the king, 4428 and thou hast not shewed 3045-52 [it] unto thy servant, 5650 who should sit 3427-4 on the throne 3678 of my lord 113 the king 4428 after 310 him?

1:28 Then king 4428 David 1732 answered 6030-4 and said, 559- 4 Call 7121-3 me Bathsheba. 1339 And she came 935-4 into the king's 4428 presence, 6440 and stood 5975-4 before 6440 the king. 4428

1:29 And the king 4428 sware, 7650-11 and said, 559-4 [As] the LORD 3068 liveth, 2416 that hath redeemed 6299-1 my soul 5315 out of all distress, 6869

1:30 Even as I sware 7650-8 unto thee by the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 saying, 559-2 Assuredly Solomon 8010 thy son 1121 shall reign 4427-4 after 310 me, and he shall sit 3427-4 upon my throne 3678 in my stead; even so will I certainly do 6213-4 this day. 3117

1:31 Then Bathsheba 1339 bowed 6915-4 with [her] face 639 to the earth, 776 and did reverence 7812-101 to the king, 4428 and said, 559-4 Let my lord 113 king 4428 David 1732 live 2421-4 for ever. 5769

1:32 And king 4428 David 1732 said, 559-4 Call 7121-3 me Zadok 6659 the priest, 3548 and Nathan 5416 the prophet, 5030 and Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada. 3077 And they came 935-4 before 6440 the king. 4428

1:33 The king 4428 also said 559-4 unto them, Take 3947-3 with you the servants 5650 of your lord, 113 and cause Solomon 8010 my son 1121 to ride 7392-52 upon mine own mule, 6506 and bring him down 3381-52 to Gihon: 1521

1:34 And let Zadok 6659 the priest 3548 and Nathan 5416 the prophet 5030 anoint 4886-1 him there king 4428 over Israel: 3478 and blow 8628-1 ye with the trumpet, 7782 and say, 559-1 God save 2421-4 king 4428 Solomon. 8010

1:35 Then ye shall come up 5927-1 after 310 him, that he may come 935-1 and sit 3427-1 upon my throne; 3678 for he shall be king 4427-4 in my stead: and I have appointed 6680-14 him to be ruler 5057 over Israel 3478 and over Judah. 3063

1:36 And Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada 3077 answered 6030-4 the king, 4428 and said, 559-4 Amen: 543 the LORD 3068 God 430 of my lord 113 the king 4428 say 559-4 so [too].

1:37 As the LORD 3068 hath been with my lord 113 the king, 4428 even so be he with Solomon, 8010 and make his throne 3678 greater 1431-17 than the throne 3678 of my lord 113 king 4428 David. 1732

1:38 So Zadok 6659 the priest, 3548 and Nathan 5416 the prophet, 5030 and Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada, 3077 and the Cherethites, 3774 and the Pelethites, 6432 went down, 3381-4 and caused Solomon 8010 to ride 7392-55 upon king 4428 David's 1732 mule, 6506 and brought 3212-55 him to Gihon. 1521

1:39 And Zadok 6659 the priest 3548 took 3947-4 an horn 7161 of oil 8081 out of the tabernacle, 168 and anointed 4886-4 Solomon. 8010 And they blew 8628-4 the trumpet; 7782 and all the people 5971 said, 559-4 God save 2421-4 king 4428 Solomon. 8010

1:40 And all the people 5971 came up 5927-4 after 310 him, and the people 5971 piped 2490-18 with pipes, 2485 and rejoiced 8056 with great 1419 joy, 8057 so that the earth 776 rent 1234-11 with the sound 6963 of them.

1:41 And Adonijah 138 and all the guests 7121-7 that [were] with him heard 8085-4 [it] as they had made an end 3615-14 of eating. 398-2 And when Joab 3097 heard 8085-4 the sound 6963 of the trumpet, 7782 he said, 559-4 Wherefore [is this] noise 6963 of the city 7151 being in an uproar? 1993-6

1:42 And while he yet spake, 1696-18 behold, Jonathan 3129 the son 1121 of Abiathar 54 the priest 3548 came: 935-1 and Adonijah 138 said 559-4 unto him, Come in; 935-3 for thou [art] a valiant 2428 man, 376 and bringest good 2896 tidings. 1319-17

1:43 And Jonathan 3129 answered 6030-4 and said 559-4 to Adonijah, 138 Verily 61 our lord 113 king 4428 David 1732 hath made Solomon 8010 king. 4427-52

1:44 And the king 4428 hath sent 7971-4 with him Zadok 6659 the priest, 3548 and Nathan 5416 the prophet, 5030 and Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada, 3077 and the Cherethites, 3774 and the Pelethites, 6432 and they have caused him to ride 7392-55 upon the king's 4428 mule: 6506

1:45 And Zadok 6659 the priest 3548 and Nathan 5416 the prophet 5030 have anointed 4886-4 him king 4428 in Gihon: 1521 and they are come up 5927-4 from thence rejoicing, 8056 so that the city 7151 rang again. 1949-11 This [is] the noise 6963 that ye have heard. 8085-1

1:46 And also Solomon 8010 sitteth 3427-1 on the throne 3678 of the kingdom. 4410

1:47 And moreover the king's 4428 servants 5650 came 935-1 to bless 1288-15 our lord 113 king 4428 David, 1732 saying, 559- 2 God 430 make the name 8034 of Solomon 8010 better 3190-55 than thy name, 8034 and make his throne 3678 greater 1431-17 than thy throne. 3678 And the king 4428 bowed 7812-101 himself upon the bed. 4904

1:48 And also thus said 559-1 the king, 4428 Blessed 1288-7 [be] the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 which hath given 5414-1 [one] to sit 3427-6 on my throne 3678 this day, 3117 mine eyes 5869 even seeing 7200-6 [it].

1:49 And all the guests 7121-7 that [were] with Adonijah 138 were afraid, 2729-4 and rose up, 6965-4 and went 3212-4 every man 376 his way. 1870

1:50 And Adonijah 138 feared 3372-1 because 6440 of Solomon, 8010 and arose, 6965-4 and went, 3212-4 and caught hold 2388- 55 on the horns 7161 of the altar. 4196

1:51 And it was told 5046-93 Solomon, 8010 saying, 559-2 Behold, Adonijah 138 feareth 3372-1 king 4428 Solomon: 8010 for, lo, he hath caught hold 270-1 on the horns 7161 of the altar, 4196 saying, 559-2 Let king 4428 Solomon 8010 swear 7650-11 unto me to day 3117 that he will not slay 4191-55 his servant 5650 with the sword. 2719

1:52 And Solomon 8010 said, 559-4 If he will shew himself a worthy 2428 man, 1121 there shall not an hair 8185 of him fall 5307-4 to the earth: 776 but if wickedness 7451 shall be found 4672-11 in him, he shall die. 4191-1
